Selling and buying a house

For the first time in 27 years I found myself selling a family home and moving into a smaller property - quite a daunting experience to do on my own and in a technological world !

Kate was fantastic!

My boyfriend and I just bought our first house and Kate was so so helpful. She was really responsive, kind and patient. She took time to explain everything we didn’t understand and made us feel really comfortable for our first house purchase. We would recommend her to anyone, and her highly professional but friendly nature has ensured we would use Ridley and Hall again if we ever needed more legal assistance.

Massive thanks. We were so impressed by Kate Ward’s professionalism and knowledge the last time we moved house; we made sure to find her again 12 years later! Kate and her team were friendly and approachable and always happy to guide us through what could have been a stressful process. Highly recommend

We used Katherine at Ridley and Hall for our recent house sale and purchase. She was absolutely excellent! She went above and beyond to ensure our entire chain was moving along to complete on a tight deadline. There were many issues along the way which were dealt with quickly.

I have now used the services of this company formerly Newman & Bond for 5 times. As always Kate Ward and her team were marvellous. Any queries I had were dealt with efficiently and promptly, I would highly recommend them without hesitation. I shall use them again in future if the situation arises. Well done. Many thanks Steve.
